Craig,

Will do on the email and thanks for the clarification on the two craxdrts.

I use the following:


oCryRpt = CREATEOBJECT("CrystalRuntime.Application")
ocryrpt.LogOnServerEx("p2sodbc.dll","HEMSENT","HEMSENT") &&SQL ODBC connection
oCryRpt.SetMatchLogOnInfo(1)
*Is it correct that this last line opens up a shared connection to the HEMSENT server/HEMSENT database to any report that calls this application object? Meaning I do not have to set the login for report and subreport databases?

orpt = oCryRpt.OpenReport("C:\projects\crystal reports\reports\wo.rpt")
odb = orpt.database()
lotables = odb.Tables()

*These last few commands should open up, through the application logon to the server, the database and tables associated with the report. Unfortunately, I get an empty object back for lodb, odb and lotables.

Again, I appreciate the assistance.

Regards,

Jim
